Hello everyone,

I recently cut down a walnut right now I have three logs about 10ft long and from 10in to 24in diameter. I am trying to find someone around cincinnati to buy them. I am finishing the spar this weekend ran out of time last weekend.

I should get a few more 10 to 12 in logs and about a 36 and 28. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm joking on the video part too( I do like them though), but the most money you will make off them is typically from someone who is looking to make the end product out of them not the mill and craigslist is a great source to find them.
 
When I was home on vacation in PA a few weeks ago I noticed a lot of the local farmers had harvested a lot of their walnut. I assume the price is up for walnut. With thousand canker disease it will only increase.

My partner is getting paid top dollar for them, currently. Walnut has taken a big jump in value for some reason. BTW we're up here in NY ...... so that seems to cover most of the east coast, from here to Georgia.

Who ever comes across any ..... don't waste it!!!

Have never seen a black walnut here in GA. They might have some in the north GA mountains. The ones I was talking about were in central PA, state college area.
 
Here are some better pictures. So I just talked to a lady on Facebook and told her what I had and how much tree I had left and she said that she would give me 1100 if I bring them to her. I probably have about 6 more logs most bigger than these.

She was tickled pink. She said she wanted to make some mantels and fairy gardens. We will see how everything goes I am going to send her pictures of the spar and then the logs when I get them down

Stay with me, it is germaine!

I follow a woodworking forum. Woodcentral.com

There a guy in NJ who had tonhave a couple of walnuts removed. He was asking how he might tell them without damaging the wood. He asked about 'felling fractures' I knew exactly what he meant but others thought he made it up because they'd fallen timber in the woods not residential trees. After the felling he showed some of the primary branch unions that smashed when the tree hit the ground. What caught my eye in his pics...and the butts of these sawlogs in this thread, is the cracks through the pith

Could be many things.

Quick drying and end cracks/checks. But that is usually starting at
The bark

Releasing internal growth stresses from tension/compression

Maybe the slam When the tree hit The ground

I can't recall seeing cracks like that when chunking down
Trunks

Any other ideas?
 
Not exactly sure what you mean but these pieces were rigged out of the tree none of them hit the ground hard. They were lowered on a rigging line.

They don't look like they are very good quality logs. the middle one doesn't look bad, but the others have defect and sweep. Are they limbs or from the trunk?
 
The dark stain in the fifth and sixth picture down are tell tail signs of hard ware, from my opinion. Could be wrong though. It’s been known to happen.
